This week on Trapping Across America we have Sam Pole from Virginia. Sam is a great guy to talk too. He has been around the block a few times. He traps in the urban areas around his home in VA. He was trained and was friends with the trapping legend Charlie Dobbins. He fur traps and runs a neat ADC business with the most of his work being beaver. Sam uses the Hancock live beaver trap in a way I have never heard of before. Very interesting indeed. Kick back, grab a cold one or a steaming mug of coffee and enjoy!

I also talk about the future of Wolfer Nation. We are going the keep the Wolfer Nation as you know it. What we are going to do is start Wolfer Nation 2.0. This site will be at http://www.wolfernation.com/, so nothing will change, but the 2.0 site will be more moble and tablet friendly. The old Wolfer Nation will stay the same and used kind of like an archive. Moving over 500 blog post and videos would be a nightmare. The reason I bring this up, is that while we build the new Wolfer Nation 2.0 site, we will not be adding new content to Wolfer Nation till we get the new one loaded with trapping blog post and videos.

I also go into the uses of using two traps on coyote sets and why. Please leave ego at the door on this one. Facts are facts and ego only gets in the way.

Predator Control Group product of the is is Federales. FEDERALES is based off of federal research. Some of it is smoked. (not that fake smoke from the grocery store) It also is loaded with natural predator calling ingredients and oils that reach out and stops a coyote in his tracks. You will see digging and milling around your sets. Good stuff! (FEDERALES is Spanish for federal police)

Like most of our lures and baits, FEDERALES does not smell or get the same reactions as most bobcat based Bill Nelson clone style coyote baits. This bait is penetrating and fills up the air around a dirt hole set or a sneaky flat set. This bait does not have skunk in it and it does not need skunk in it. FEDERALES works well in the sleet, snow and freezing cold, but it also calls in coyotes all spring, summer and fall. This bait has turned into one of my go to baits on my predator control jobs. I have never seen anything that will take 9 coyotes off of 1,200 acres in 95 degree temps and them slam coyote in the single digits.

Big boar raccoons, grey fox, otter and red fox also give FEDERALES a big thumbs up. This bait tears all predators up. I know when it gets late in the year, I will leave the fish and sweet bait at home and grab a few FEDERALES for my raccoon pocket sets, cages, buckets and dry land dirt holes. Randy Smith has used this on his ice and snow raccoon trap lines in PA. The next time I talked to him he wanted a gallon and five gallon price. Keep in mind Randy takes between 600-1000 raccoons in PA and he does not set a trap till the snow flys.
